Question by Dr Gonzo: What will YOU be voting on prop 5…?!?

Proposition 5 will cut state costs. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst estimates those savings at $ 2.5 billion or more. Prop. 5 safely eases prison overcrowding by investing in drug treatment – which costs much less than prison – for youth and nonviolent offenders. Prop. 5 provides treatment with strict accountability.

Prop. 5 is supported by the League of Women Voters of California, Consumer Federation of California, California Nurses Association, California Society of Addiction Medicine, California Federation of Teachers – and many others.

Prop. 5 is opposed by the state prison guards’ union, which has contributed almost $ 2 million for deceptive TV ads. Prison guards benefit from prison overcrowding and new prison building, but California loses.
